The dad-of-one from Perth, Australia, went to hospital on Christmas Day after noticing a swollen gland in his jaw.
He was using antibiotics to treat pneumonia just weeks earlier but his partner Trish Kincaid said his neck was "scarlet and bigger than his head" by the time he got further medical help.
